Pines vs the Forces of Evil

Fandom: Gravity Falls & Star vs the Forces of Evil

When he and his twin sister Mabel went back to California at the start of the school year, Dipper Pines was convinced that was the end of the craziness. Surely, they would be leaving all weirdness and bizarre mystery adventures back in Gravity Falls… Nope.

It looked like things would be normal, when they started the first day of school. Just the same ‘ol boring routine for the next nine months – wake up at the unholiest of hours, drag butt to class, struggle to stay awake for the rest of the day while listening to teachers drone on and on, eat the mediocre school lunch, finish classes, then go home.

Then, Mabel introduced him to her new friend, and everything began looking up…

Mabel was sitting in class, her big wool cat sweater's sleeves covering her hands, as she rested her head on her desk. Her thick, brown hair flopped over her eyes, her pink head band that matched her sweater drooping slightly.

She was suppose to be solving the math problems on the worksheet the teacher had passed out earlier, but they were much too difficult.

It was way too early for dumb smarty nerd classes for poop heads. Algebra hurt her head! Too many numbers and boring word problems. She didn’t even have Dipper to make the class more bearable, because he was in a more advanced math class.

Which was completely ridiculous and unfair! She and Dipper had shared every class together since kindergarten! How could they split up now? It didn’t help that this had been exactly what she’d been afraid, why Bill had managed to keep her trapped in that fake paradise bubble and… Mabel shook her head. She’d rather not think about that. The point was: so far freshman year of high school sucked.

Mabel wished it was time for her art class already! That would have been much more interesting. She groaned, only to be shushed by the person sitting next to her. (This only prompted her to stick her tongue out at them.)

As if the universe were answering her internal pleas for something exciting to happen, a girl burst through the door with a huge grin on her face. Her big, blue eyes twinkled with an enthusiasm that only Mabel's own optimistic attitude could rival with.

The girl's thick, golden blonde hair flew behind her as she pranced around the room with the energy of a small child running through a toy store. She was dressed in a long green dress that went down to her thighs and had a rainbow on the front of it, colorful leggings covering her legs. Her head band had little horns on the top, and her knee length boots had pictures of bunnies on them.

Mabel looked up, taking in the other girl's appearance in just a few seconds before a broad grin formed on her lips. She could already tell they were going to get along swimmingly.

“Hellooo!” the blonde sang, waving at the bored faces of her class mates. A few people waved back, but other than that no one paid her attention, regarding her in much the same way they’d been doing with Mabel.

The teacher glanced up lazily from where she was perched at her desk. She sighed, looking utterly exasperated by the new presence. “Miss Butterfly, you are late.”

The blonde girl grinned sheepishly. She scratched the top of her head with the baby rattle looking thing in her hand. “I have a good reason for that. And that’s because I didn’t really want to be here.”

The teacher blanched in shock, and a few other students lifted their heads at the potential drama. The blonde girl shrugged, apparently not realizing that what she’d just said could be considered rude. “My new friend Marco tried explaining this stuff to me last period, and I gotta say it seems pretty boring.”
